One of the things I've done personally is bring my girlfriends into my health and fitness journeys.

Child hunger and child obesity are really just two sides of the same coin. Both rob our children of the energy, the strength and the stamina they need to succeed in school and in life. And that, in turn, robs our country of so much of their promise.

You can be a good mom and still work out, get your rest, have a career - or not. My mother encouraged me to find that balance.

If I point to anything that makes me who I am, it's that I have a whole lot of common sense. I've got a good mind and a good ability to read people and situations.

My kids are normal. If they could eat burgers and fries and ice cream every day, they would. And so would I. But that doesn't sustain us.

Do not die in the history of your past hurts and past experiences, but live in the now and future of your destiny.

I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love. I also don't want my girls to be obsessed about food.
